Coopers Hawk Nesting Now in Jefferson Co?

[Lynne Forrester]

I have a Coopers Hawk who is just starting to build a nest in my backyard. Isn't this kind of late for him to be starting this? Is there any chance for him to attract a mate and for them to be successful this late?

I'm also asking because I'm having some limb trimming done on a tree that is right next to one he's building in in the next couple of weeks. It's not major work, but they will be using a chain saw. It won't take them long to do, and I can make sure the crew avoid hitting the tree with the nest. If he does attract a mate, will they return when the work is done without too much stress?
